Feeling the Heat
Students learn about the
urban heat island effect by
investigating which areas of
their schoolyard have higher
temperatures. Then they
analyze data about how the
number of heat waves in an
urban area has increased
over time with population.
NYC, 8/14/02:Temp and vegetation Pg. 19

Feeling the Heat, Part 1
Students investigate how trees, grass,
asphalt, etc. affect temperature

Feeling the Heat, Part 2:
Investigating the history of heat waves and temperature in Los
Angeles, CAStand in a group of 10 along the rope. Each person takes one
LA Data Card.
The Objective: Order yourselves by the data on the card
keeping at least one foot on the rope at all times as you
move past each other to get in order.
1.  Order yourselves by average temperature.
2.  Order yourselves by the number of heat waves.**
3.  Order yourselves by population.
(**Note: there are two decades that have the same number
of heat waves. The people with those cards can stand next
to each other in any order.)
Reasons for patterns
The highest temperatures are found in the most dense part of a
city. That’s the urban heat island effect.
The next 3 slides show how LA has changed over time. How do you
think the heat island effect has changed as the city changed?

Warmer city temperatures are partially due to global warming.
This graph shows how Earth’s average temperature has changed.
System for Integrated Modeling of
Metropolitan Extreme Heat Risk (SIMMER)
NCAR scientists are building a tool for
public health to use to assess the risk of
extreme heat in Houston.
•  Looking at the impact of urban extreme
heat on human health
•  Characterizing people’s vulnerability and
the responses to heat
•  Improving how urban land cover
appears in GIS maps at local and
regional scales
•  Modeling present and future extreme
heat events

The “Other” CO2 Problem
CO2 How Much Do You Spew? Pg. 63
CO2: How Much Do You Spew? Directions:
• Each group has a card profiling a hypothetical family or individual.
• Families/individuals live in different situations & use energy in different ways.
• Students use the worksheet to calculate a household’s CO2 emissions.
Sample card
CO2: How Much Do You Spew?
Answer Key for CO2: How Much Do You Spew
1.  What activities emitted the most CO2 for the family you examined?
2.  Could those activities be changed to emit less CO2? How?
3.  How would you change your scenario to reduce CO2?

The objective of this lesson is to teach middle and high school students
about variables that affect glacier flow over time:
- valley slope
- ice temperature
- basal conditions (ground surface)
- strain

“Flubber” Recipe
1.  Decide on one of the variables to study.
2.  Make a hypothesis (e.g. the steeper the slope, the faster the flow rate of a
glacier.)
3.  Test your hypothesis and record and graph your results.
4.  Discuss results and how flubber is like and unlike a glacier.

Hurricanes and Climate Pg. 97
Students investigate
maps and data to
learn about the
connections
between hurricanes
and climate including:
(1) regional climate
conditions where
hurricanes form, and
(2) how global climate
change may be
affecting hurricanes.
Courtesy of Kevin Trenberth
Where do hurricanes happen?
The map shows the paths of all tropical cyclones that occurred between
1985 and 2005. (Wikipedia commons)
2013 Climate Change Connections to our Weather, Environment, and Health
Hurricanes happen where water is warm
Temperature of the ocean surface (“sea surface temperature” or SST). Data
from GOES and POES satellites. (NOAA)
Warm water gives a hurricane power…
To grow in strength, a
hurricane needs:
•  Warm, moist air (moisture
for rainstorms)
•  Winds that don't change
direction with height
•  Deep, warm ocean water
(79°F or warmer)…As winds
strengthen, more water
evaporates, releasing
energy stored in the warm
seas.
Is global warming affecting hurricanes?
Data fromWebster et al (2005) Science, 309, 1844-46.
Not much change in the
number of hurricanes
over time.
Strong hurricanes are
more frequent now than
they were a few decades
ago.
From Webster et al (2005)
Large Increase in Number of
Category 4 and 5 Hurricanes

•  Hurricane Sandy
•  Increasing media coverage affirming climate change
•  Midwest drought, summer 2012
•  Texas drought 2011; Fires across southwest & west
•  All around increase in severe weather events
•  Arctic sea ice retreat
•  2012 hottest year on record in continental US…
Comment from a Teacher
“There was one parent who said he had a PhD in
entomology and said that he thinks global climate
change is false. If I decided to teach this
information to the students, he would come into
the classroom and dispute it all in front of me.
Instead of doing this, the school administration just
suggested that I not teach the information. I really
found it to be a shame because it's something that
is often found in the media that many students are
interested in and want to learn more about. I don't
want to tell them one way or another, but they
need to know the facts from both sides without
bias.” Source: NESTA

Stabilization Wedges
16 GtC/y
Eight “wedges”
Goal: In 50 years, same
global emissions as today
What is a “Wedge”?
A “wedge” is a strategy to reduce carbon emissions that grows
in 50 years from zero to 1.0 GtC/yr.The strategy has already
been commercialized at scale somewhere.
1 GtC/yr
50 years
Total = 25 Gigatons carbon
Cumulatively, a wedge redirects the flow of 25 GtC in its first 50
years.This is 2.5 trillion dollars at $100/tC.
A “solution” to the CO2 problem should provide at least one wedge.

•  - fuel switching electricity
•  - fuel switching electricity
•  - efficiency transport
•  - efficiency transport
•  - efficiency transport
•  - carbon Storage electricity
•  - efficiency buildings
A likely U.S. choice?
– Many of these scenarios have
been initiated or implemented.
Take Home Messages from Activity
•  In order to avoid a doubling of atmospheric CO2, we
need to rapidly deploy low-carbon energy technologies
and/or enhance natural sinks
•  We already have an adequate portfolio of technologies to
make large cuts in emissions
•  No one technology can do the whole job – a variety of
strategies will need to be used to stay on a path that
avoids a CO2 doubling
•  Every “wedge” has associated impacts and costs

  • 59. Warm water gives a hurricane power… To grow in strength, a hurricane needs: •  Warm, moist air (moisture for rainstorms) •  Winds that don't change direction with height •  Deep, warm ocean water (79°F or warmer)…As winds strengthen, more water evaporates, releasing energy stored in the warm seas.
  • 60. Is global warming affecting hurricanes? Data fromWebster et al (2005) Science, 309, 1844-46. Not much change in the number of hurricanes over time. Strong hurricanes are more frequent now than they were a few decades ago.
  • 61. From Webster et al (2005) Large Increase in Number of Category 4 and 5 Hurricanes

  • 64. A Conversation: Climate Communication
  • 66. What led to acceptance of climate change? •  Hurricane Sandy •  Increasing media coverage affirming climate change •  Midwest drought, summer 2012 •  Texas drought 2011; Fires across southwest & west •  All around increase in severe weather events •  Arctic sea ice retreat •  2012 hottest year on record in continental US…
  • 67. Comment from a Teacher “There was one parent who said he had a PhD in entomology and said that he thinks global climate change is false. If I decided to teach this information to the students, he would come into the classroom and dispute it all in front of me. Instead of doing this, the school administration just suggested that I not teach the information. I really found it to be a shame because it's something that is often found in the media that many students are interested in and want to learn more about. I don't want to tell them one way or another, but they need to know the facts from both sides without bias.” Source: NESTA

  • 84. What is a “Wedge”? A “wedge” is a strategy to reduce carbon emissions that grows in 50 years from zero to 1.0 GtC/yr.The strategy has already been commercialized at scale somewhere. 1 GtC/yr 50 years Total = 25 Gigatons carbon Cumulatively, a wedge redirects the flow of 25 GtC in its first 50 years.This is 2.5 trillion dollars at $100/tC. A “solution” to the CO2 problem should provide at least one wedge.

  • 86. http://cmi.princeton.edu/wedges/pdfs/teachers_guide.pdf You can find more info about each of the 15 wedge areas in the teacher guide online.
  • 87. #1: Who might support these scenarios of ways to reduce? •  auto efficiency •  conservation in transportation •  building efficiency •  electricity efficiency •  fuel switching electrics (natural gas vs coal) •  forest storage •  soil storage •  nuclear Possibly a taxpayer?
  • 88. Who? •  CO2 Storage electricity •  fuel switching electricity (natural gas for coal) •  fuel switching electricity •  nuclear •  forest storage •  soil storage •  Increased efficiency electricity plants •  wind electricity A possible fossil fuel exec. ?
  • 89. Who? •  efficiency transport •  conservation transport efficiency •  efficiency buildings •  efficiency electricity •  wind •  solar •  forest storage •  forest storage A possible environmentalist choice?
  • 90. Who? •  - fuel switching electricity •  - fuel switching electricity •  - fuel switching electricity •  - efficiency transport •  - efficiency transport •  - efficiency transport •  - carbon Storage electricity •  - efficiency buildings A likely U.S. choice? – Many of these scenarios have been initiated or implemented.
